Uneducated masses
We're having the same problem as the founders did when they founded this great experiment - uneducated masses. They were afraid that uneducated masses would pick terrible leaders. Even with all the technology and information overload that we have today - people still go with their gut. Damn common sense or their own best interest, it's all about the hype.

so true, i have often thought that the reason education is so underfunded and undervalued in the USA is that the republican hierachy is afraid that if the electorate had a little education they would never put up with the foolishness that has been foisted on us for the last 7 and a half years. if they keep them uneducated and stupid, they won't be able to think for themselves and will keep on believing everything as reported on fox news.
i can't wait for a democratic presidency again, i would love to see a balanced budget, and for any raises i get to actually show up in my paycheck.
